HTML:<p><strong>"An important and vital story." — Donna Everhart, USA Today bestselling author of The Saints of Swallow Hill</strong></p> <p><strong>"Engaging, shocking, heart-wrenching." — Library Journal</strong></p> <p><strong>A "compassionate novel about loss and broken dreams."</strong> <strong>— Washington Post</strong></p> <p><strong>A searing book club read for fans of Ellen Marie Wiseman and The Girls with No Names set in the Baby Scoop Era of the 1960s about the women of a certain condition swept up in a dark history.</strong></p> <p>It's the 1960s and Lorraine Delford has it all – an upstanding family, a perfect boyfriend, and a white picket fence home in North Carolina. Yet every time she looks through her father's telescope, she dreams of the stars. It's ambitious, but Lorraine has always been exceptional. </p> <p>But when this darling girl-next-door gets pregnant, she's forced to learn firsthand the realities that keep women grounded. </p> <p>To hide their daughter's secret shame, the Delfords send Lorraine to a maternity home for wayward girls. But this is no safe haven – it's a house with dark secrets and suffocating rules. And as Lorraine begins to piece together a new vision for her life, she must decide if she can fight against the powers that aim to take her child or submit to the rules of a society she once admired.</p> <p><strong>Powerful and affecting, The Girls We Sent Away is a timely novel that explores autonomy, belonging, and a quest for agency when the illusions of life-as-you-know-it fall away.</strong></p>.
